While you might think Oancea saw something in the fight footage or knew the former pro boxer’s striking skills would be too much for the now-ex-champ, he actually confessed he was betting against Rousey as much as he was betting on Holm.

“I’ll put $10,000 on that for fun,” Oancea, who apparently bet $20,000 instead of the intended $10,000, told MMAjunkie Radio. “I’ll put $10,000 on her every time against her and just keep doubling up, because eventually she’s going to lose – that’s my philosophy. It just takes one lucky punch. I’ll put $10,000 on her if they let me do it. I’ve got balls.”

One lucky punch? Turns it was a lot of expert punches – and one big head kick.

Matt Brown performed an honest career calculation that led him to his decision to retire after his next fight. His opponent, Diego Sanchez, seems to have chosen the opposite path. For many aging fighters, these are the two choices, and neither is an easy one to make.
